But no, this isn't the case on the Zaurus.
The hw.cpuspeed sysctl is a read only value.
The machdep.maxspeed was introduced to scale up and down the hw.setperf
parameter on this system.
The Zaurus normally operates at 416Mhz, the sysctl.conf contains the line
machdep.maxspeed=520 on
net.inet.ip.redirect = 0
Means that the machine will not "honour" redirects.
The value is used to ignore redirects sent by routers not to disable sending
of redirects if you happen to be running as a router.
